Earthquakes and their impact on San Francisco

San Francisco sits on shaky ground. How prepared are we for the next big earthquake?

Join us at Manny’s for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Annemarie Baltay, a leading geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey, as we dig into the science behind earthquakes and what they mean for our city.

How likely is "The Big One" to happen in our lifetime? What do the recent small quakes tell us about the possibility of a major one? Which parts of San Francisco are in the most danger from liquefaction? And how do scientists actually predict and study earthquakes?

Dr. Baltay’s work focuses on ground motion, seismic hazard mapping, and earthquake early warning systems like ShakeAlert, critical tools that help us prepare before disaster strikes. Don’t miss this chance to learn what we can do now to build a more resilient city.
